HEXAGRAM 62: OVERSTEPPING

Stick to the small. Listen to the flying bird. Choose the low, reject the high.

The Lines (base to top)

Trouble meets the bird in flight
The sought one sends a lackey
Watch out when turning your back
Keeping on might bring trouble
Dense clouds, no rain, bird in a cave
Flying bird caught in a net

Commentary

Thunder over mountain. Lofty stuff.

Take care not to overstep.
